"So much has boon printed about
tho insurance feature of.the Chrys
ler plan that thoro arc those who
loso sight of tho fact that the plan
is one to reduce finance charges
on motor cars sold on tho .deferred
payment basis," explained J.eo
French here today.
"The insurance feature of tho
plan is an important ono but it is
incidental. Obviously no company
is going to finance the salo of mo
tor cars sold on a deferred pay
ment basis unless those cars are in
sured against loss from fire and
thefl. The finance plan would
havo boon Impossible without the
insurance feature.
"To-bo sure tho Chrysler plan
assures purchasers of Chrysler cars
lower insurance rates. The saving
from lowered finance charges and
reduced insurance rntes depends
upon its price. In July $400,000
was saved to Chrysler buyers and
in August a slightly larger sum was
saved. .
"Tho Chrysler plan was evolved
to .' reduce finance charges on
Chrysler cars. It is a plan to save
money for the public because Bar
